Gemstone

Story

Take a tour around New York City and everywhere you turn you see examples of the iconic skyscraper. Sleek and streamlined, these building represented the progressive new styling of the modern age. Add a touch of that extravagant decorative geometry “borrowed” from the French and you have architectural heaven in a straight rectilinear form.

Translate that into 14k yellow gold, then insert a faceted, almost stepped aquamarine of an estimated 2.6 carats set east to west and voilà...artistry for the finger. Notice the powerful geometry of the gold work and its use to support the sleek heavenly blue gemstone.

The period ring is designed and crated by J. R. Wood & Sons, a New York based fine jewelry and accessory manufacturing firm in business since 1850. The firm formally changed its name to Art-Carved, Inc. in 1975. Still in business today, the company is recognized for its well designed rings.
